6 S a n F r a n c i s c o G e n e r a l H o s p i t a l F o u n d a t i o n N e w s San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate Susan G. Komen for the Cure Awards Two Grants to SFGH In providing nearly 34,000 breast imaging exams since the Avon Comprehensive Breast Care Center’s opening in 2004, the Center’s current digital mammography machines are in critical need of replacement due to the “sun setting” of vendor technology that is no longer supported for repair and maintenance. To address this critical need for reliable equipment, the Komen San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate has awarded a grant of $383,151 to purchase one new digital mammography machine. A second grant of $28,618 was awarded to establish the Susan G. Komen Wheels to Wellness Fund which will provide transportation assistance for breast cancer patients to get to and from vital treatment services and wellness activities. Lack of adequate transportation remains a major barrier to accessing care for underserved breast cancer patients and directly impacts their survival. This fund will be coordinated by the SFGH Foundation in collaboration with the San Francisco Women’s Cancer Network, a network of community partners who provide safety net services for breast cancer patients who primarily seek their care at SFGH. “Last year, our Board of Directors and Grants Committee became aware that there were increasing waiting periods for mammograms at SFGH. As the priority of our grant making is to overcome barriers that prevent underserved women in our community from receiving breast cancer services, Komen San Francisco Bay Area is very gratified to be able to partner with San Francisco General Hospital to fund not only the new mammography machine, but also the transportation fund,” remarks Executive Director Maria Sousa. SFGH Senior Associate Administrator Roland Pickens praises both grants saying “In light of the current economic environment, both grants are a beacon of hope.” Supported by Join us S a n F r a n c i s c o G e n e r a l H o s p i t a l F o u n d a t i o n Judy Guggenhime, SFGH Foundation Board President, was on hand to accept both grants with Dr. Lori Strachowski (not pictured) from Amy Buckner, Board President, Komen San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate and June Hom, Grants Committee Chairperson, Komen San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate.
